MG 1/100 ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam, Devil Arts

MG 1/100 ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is now available as plastic model kit Gunpla Master Grade bootleg Devil Arts.

ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam

ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam (プロヴィデンスガンダム) is a mobile suit introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and is piloted by Rau Le Creuset.

Like the other ZGMF-X series of Gundams created by ZAFT in CE 71, the Providence is equipped with Neutron Jammer Canceller and powered by a nuclear reactor. It is also armored with Phase Shift armor and features armaments reverse engineered from the stolen mobile suits of the Earth Alliance.

Initially designed as a close combat unit with large beam sabers, the Providence is later changed into a DRAGOON system equipped unit when Rau Le Creuset is designated as its pilot and because it could be powered by the nuclear reactor, but it still retains the heavy armor of the former's design. As this change is made after the main body's design is completed, some of the new parts could not be integrated into the body.

An example is the six quantum communication cables running from the backpack to the chest that are mounted externally due to lack of interior space. Though exposed, these cables still have solid protection as they are covered by Phase Shift armor.
